In a radio town hall appearance this morning in New York City,
Gov. David A.
Paterson claimed that he was the one who first told the news
media that he had talked to a woman involved in a domestic
violence complaint against one of his top aides.

“The individual who first made it clear that there had been a
conversation was myself,” the governor told John Gambling, a host
on WOR (710 AM).

His statement, however, is not accurate.

We're not sure what he's trying to pull here -- we suppose he
thinks claiming he outed himself makes him look good -- but when
the statement is so easily refuted, it just emphasizes that he's
got an honesty problem.
